Before I write this, Thalia has no idea that Graeme is Grayson's older brother. And Graeme has no idea that Thalia dated Grayson.

BONUS CHAPTER 2: Future Husband

~Thalia: Age 22~

       "I still wish you could come," Graeme said over the phone. "Now I'm going to have no date at the wedding."

       I was going to be Graeme's date for his brother's wedding and he was going to be my date to Poppy and Grayson's wedding. But then they turned out to be the same day. What are the odds? 

       High. Apparently very high odds.

       "On the bright side, you can flirt with the bridesmaids," I teased, putting the phone on speaker so I would be able to get changed.

       "Yeah, not gonna happen," Graeme said. "For one thing, the bridesmaids are either my sister, married to the bride's brother, or dating one of the groomsmen. And, what was the other thing? Oh, right. I have a girlfriend that I like very much and I'd rather her not kick me in the balls if I flirt with other girls."

       I smiled to myself. "I won't kick you in the balls for flirting with other girls."

       "Because I won't flirt with other girls," Graeme said.

       "Exactly," I said as I took of my pajamas to put on the dress I was going to wear. I already did my hair and makeup.

       "Hey, were you just getting undressed?" Graeme asked.

       "Yes."

       "....Want to videochat instead?"

       I rolled my eyes. "Pig."

       "Is that a no?"

       "Graeme, I'm pretty sure you can go a day without seeing me undress," I said.

       Graeme sighed. "It will be a rough day."

       "So rough," I said sarcastically.

       "Are you sure you can't skip the wedding and come to my brother's?" Graeme asked.

       "I'm sure," I said as I pulled on the red dress. "I can't skip my friend's wedding. When I moved back here, she was one of the first people to be nice to me, even after she found out I dated her boyfriend. I can't not go to her wedding."

       "Oh, alright," Graeme said. "I have to go now, so I'll talk to you later. Bye, sweetheart."

       "Bye," I said, smiling at the nickname he gave me before hanging up my phone. I still had about five minutes before I planned on leaving, so I made sure I had everything I would need in my purse. 

       I had to take a taxi to the venue considering I didn't have a car. I couldn't afford one at the moment when I had to pay off my student loan. Normally, Graeme offered to drive me places, no matter how much times I told him that he wasn't my personal chauffeur, but he had to go to his brother's wedding.

       When I got to the venue, quite a few people were already there, even though the wedding wasn't going to start for another twenty minutes.

       As soon as I walked into the building, I found where the ceremony was going to take place. Chairs were set up neatly, each with a red bow stuck on the back to give it a more physical appeal. Some people were already sitting down, talking to each other.

       Grayson was already standing at the altar, talking to his best man Laughlin and someone who I definitely did not expect to see there.

       My boyfriend.
